The Supreme Court, the Jan. 6 committee, New York’s attorney general, and a raft of lawsuits must have Trump feeling like the walls are closing in
, there are more than 20 active lawsuits against Trump, both civil and criminal, including several in Georgia over Trump’s demand that Secretary of State Brad Raffenssberger come up with 11,780 votes to tilt the 2020 election in his favor.
Trump’s also being sued for alleged violations of the Voting Rights and the Ku Klux Klan Act , by the Capitol and Metropolitan police for injuries arising from the Jan. 6 violence, and by his former attorney Michael Cohen for retaliatory imprisonment after Trump learned he was writing a tell-all book. An active class action suit claims Trump used his brand name to defraud thousands of strivers through multi-level marketing schemes promising to divulge the secrets of his success.
It’s easy to view the Trumps as farce, but there’s an element of tragedy, with the children emulating the sins of the father.
